SGT CLARK AND SGT RIVERA

SGT CLARK OF FIRE PREVENTION AND SGT RIVERA, OUTSTANDING STATION CAPTAIN. WE HAD QUITE A FEW EXPIERENCES TOGETHER. EVEN SURVIVED A FULL BLOWN RIOT AROUND NEW YEARS. WE WERE CALLED TO THE BARRACKS AREA AROUND 11:00 AT NIGHT FOR A SMALL FIRE IN THE AREA. WHEN WE ARRIVED, WE NOTICED FIRES STARTED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THEN THEY DECIIDED THEY DIDN’T LIKE FIREMEN PUTTING THIER FIRES OUT. OUR TANKER DRIVER WAS BUSY KICKING GUYS OUT OF HIS CAB.THEY WERE TRYING TO DRAG HIM OUT OF HIS TRUCK. THEN THEY STARTED THROWING FULL CANS OF BEER AT US. HAD TO CALL IN THE SECURITY POLICE AND FIRE MARSHALL TO FINALLY GET IT UNDER CONTROL. THEY KEPT ALL THOSE TROOPS PENNED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET ALL NIGHT LONG UNTILL THEY SETTLED DOWN. I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING SAID ANYWHERE ELSE ABOUT THIS RIOT, BUT I BETCHA RIVERA, MYSELF AND THE TRUCK DRIVER WILL NEVER FORGET IT. ONLY RIOT I’VE EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH. A MOB CAN BE A BAD THING TO DEAL WITH. THE FIRST S.P’S ON THE SCENE, TWO OF THEM IN A JEEP DROVE UP, LOOKED AROUND, LAST WE SAW OF THEM. GUESS THEY HAD A SUDDEN DESIRE TO BE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
